Saddam Hussein has always threatened that if he ever got the chance, he would expose the depths of his connections to the Reagan and Bush I administrations (and quite possible the current administration as well)....but three days before his capture, the Bush Interim gov. in Iraq hastily signed into law a special closed War Tribunal...

Saddam Hussein has always threatened that he would tell the world of his real connections with the Reagan and Bush() administrations if he got the chance. But, thanks to an "amazing coincidence", he won't get his day in a world court. That's because 3 days before his alleged capture, the Bush Interim gov. in Iraq() set up a special war crimes tribunal that will be closed to the world except for "outside experts" (hand-picked by the Bush junta, of course) and presided over by US government officials and their Iraq counterparts. How very, very convenient: December 10, AFP: "Back in Iraq...the Governing Council approved late last night the creation of an Iraqi penal tribunal to try former members of Saddam Hussein's regime for their crimes against humanity..Council members have said US overseer Paul Bremer has to sign the tribunal statutes, but a coalition spokesman has insisted it was the Governing Council that was taking the decisions about the court and not the US-led occupation authority." Yeah, right.

My guess is that Hussein was captured days ago...if it is indeed him. The hastily put together tribunal set up seems aimed at one of two possible things:

Keeping anything damning Hussein might say out of the world's "hearing"

or

Keeping a captured "double" away from too much scrutiny

You lefties crack me up!! All of Iraq is in celebration and all you can do is squawk conspiracy theories!

We can always count on you losers for our entertainment...

Oh this is indeed a desperate time for these goofs.

Their hero of the last decade has fallen. This means more celebrating iraqis, which they HATE. It means less money to terrorist murderers like Hamas which they HATE. It means more of a chance of a Democratic Iraq which they HATE. It means more pressure on Syria and Iran to evolve out of their respective Islamic stoneages, which they HATE.

Definetely not a good day to be a deluded member of the left.

But the beauty of it is that there's not a DAMN thing they can do.

This war against the plague of Islamofascism just went up a notch, and with support for the war AND Bush growing along with an economy which is exploding, they might as well take a nap for the next few years.

With Saddam's billions confiscated, it is more important than ever that the extreme left (and extreme right) donate funds to the Iraqi resistance.

Like a balloon, like a paper bag, like a corpse in the tropic sun.

Are you advocating someone else fight your battles for you?

Coward.

If you had any balls, you'd go around to your nearest military base and try to kill your own troops, instead of asking someone else to do it for you.

Or go down to the strip mall and blow up the recruiters' offices.

How about it, leftist? Do you have the courage of your convictions, or are you just another whining coward?

"Like a balloon, like a paper bag, like a corpse in the tropic sun."

Are you seriously trying to deny that the economy is growing by leaps and bounds and that unemployment is falling steadily over the last several months.

Are you actually in that much denial?
